But that is human nature. I've figured out a formula for the intelligence of angry mobs:-
aIQ = Average IQ of individuals in the mob
n = Number of individuals
x = How angry a mob is
mIQ = Angry mob's collective IQ
So it goes like this:
(aIQ)
------- = (mIQ)
n(x)
As you can see, the angrier and the larger the mob, the stupider it is. This applies to everyone regardless of race, religion, nationality and
favourite colour (ok, I'm not sure about that last bit) 
Very good hypothesis! Although I must surely arrest You, or at least add an unknown factor, for you to consider. I am most surely going to be flamed
from here to eternity and into oblivion, for my upcoming bold statement:
As an introduction, I must admit, that I have no proof, nor any sources to refer to. My empiric result heirs from information gathered on two separate
occasions, from two professional individuals, not knowing each other, even living in two separate countries, years apart! Yet, I remember it as if it
was yesterday, since I found the answers intriguing!
Both persons work with people. One a scholar/teacher-something, and the other one, a physiotherapist. They have told me, that when it comes to
training people, i.e. checking headtraumas and doing general cognitive training, jigsaw-puzzles are never an option, when it comes to muslims
(Uh-oh, I hear he flamers coming...)
This is supposedly because they have never been taught how to solve issues, or to 'see the full picture'. Hence they discard the possibility of
being able to 'do something yourself'/'look for options'.
I believe this has directly to do with how brainwashing works. I am NOT stating that all muslims are dumb, only that religious fundamentalism, that of
which Islam very, very, often leads to be, is a source to 'mental distress'. I would even go so far to believe, that if this continues for
thousands of years, there will be a cognitive devolution.
To state that the colour is red, when it is actually green, is very convincing with the prospect of being beaten if stating something else.
Of course this issue is cultural, not inheriting. -Or is it?
I am not convinced that several hundreds of years with conviction will affect the DNA. It would be fun though, to put Darwin on the task of finding
out the relation between human creativity and a submissioned mind.
